tldr: Quant Researcher (Middle/Senior) at QST (Quantstellation), TradFi (Derivatives), $7–15k net + Bonus/Profit Share, Limassol/Moscow (Hybrid/Relocation)
QST (Quantstellation, formerly Созвездие) is one of the first Russian-speaking boutique prop HFT funds (~35 people). They work with derivatives (futures and options) on major exchanges. Crypto is included as a supplementary component.
QST by the numbers: • Trading for 18 years with own capital (no external LPs) • Generate >$80B in monthly volume • Average tenure in the team >6 years
Main advantage: you will be exclusively engaged in research. Your primary working language is Python, and you won't need to write in C++ (there's a strong Quant Dev team for that). The team has a fully integrated research-to-production pipeline under one roof: their own platform, FPGA, and GPU clusters for heavy models. A flat, non-bureaucratic structure ensures minimal path from hypothesis to production.
Who they are looking for: • A researcher with a strong mathematical background and ML skills, ready to build alpha from scratch, not just iterate on others' pipelines. • TradFi experience is ideal, but candidates from crypto are also welcome.
Conditions: • Salary $7–15k net + bonus from a profit pool based on a transparent PnL formula (successful strategies generate upside in multiples of the fixed component, with no artificial caps). • Founders are from the MSU Faculty of Mathematics, and the team includes Kaggle Masters+, PhDs, and graduates of SHAD. Here, they seek alpha together, rather than competing in isolated teams. • Flexible schedule, 40 hours per week, no weekend overtime. • QST respects your current NDA obligations and is ready to discuss comfortable transition terms.
